Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons 2023
Learn More About This Wine
The name of this Premier Cru is derived from the Latin word “vallis” meaning “small valley”. This wine comes from the blending of several Climats of the hill of “Vaillons”, mainly the Climate of “Epinottes”, where the soil contains a high proportion of clay. The combination of several plots with variations in topography brings great aromatic complexity. Reddish brown soil containing a high proportion of clay overlying subsoil composed of Kimmeridgian marls.
Handpicking, sorting of the grapes, gentle pressing so as to respect the fruit. Alcoholic fermentation and ageing on fine lees: 90% in stainless steel vats and 10% in 1- to 5-year-old oak barrels for 10 months. Finished ageing in stainless steel vats for 2 months.
Expressive nose redolent of flowers and fresh fruit. Full-bodied and tangy on the palate, featuring perfect balance. Long, delectable finish.
